Plugin not showing in the latest FCPX

I have the same issue BUT the plugins I have downloaded for FCPX have the extension .plugin [for deflicker] I've tried adding the folder to both Generators in the Motion templates folder & the plugins folder within the FCPX application itself but without any luck. Any ideas where the .plugin plugins go? Thanks!

FCPX plugins how to install a custom plugin I downloaded a custom plugin someone created in Motion. Text box the has word wrap. I couldn't find a way to install it other than inserting it into the FCPX application. I updated FCPX today and it overwrote my custom plugin (which I expected). I tried putting the plugin into my Library using the locations listed in this Apple topic https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207264 but it didn't work. Since I don't have Motion install I don't see a place in the Movies folder I can move the custom plugin to. Why doesn't Apple have an app or place in the program to manage Plugins?

Any way to make Motion NOT check/rebuild plugins list installed for use in FCP? FCP seems OK with my installing lots of plugins for use in FCP. However, the time it takes Motion to start increases dramatically the more plugins I install for FCP. Motion lists the plugins in a column on the left in the Project Browser. I suspect that every time Motion starts it checks or rebuilds the list of categories/plugins on the left, resulting in substantial delay. Is there any way to make Motion NOT see, check, rebuild — whatever — the plugins list installed for FCP?

How can I see my motion templates in final cut pro? Hi, I have moved my motion templates to my external hard drive, and updated the Library Settings in Final Cut Pro X. But I still can't see the content of my plugins. How can I see the plugins in the folder?

Exactly what plugins are you talking about? What are the developers instructions for installation?

I think that’s an After Effects plugin.
